[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: "global" KeyEvent

Fortunately the left the add/removeFilter method with package-level
access.  Since the SWT jar files aren't sealed, you can do the following
(with warnings about being unsupported, I'm sure):

package org.eclipse.swt.widgets;

public class DisplayUtil {
  public static void addFilter(Display display, int eventType, Listener l)
{
    display.addFilter(eventType, l);
  }

  public static void removeFilter(Display display, int eventType, Listener
l) {
    display.removeFilter(eventType, l);
  }
}
